[blparent] adoption

[hina altaf]

Hi,
I am not sure what is the proceedure to adopt a child either a refuge
or with disability. Is it possible for visually impaired parents to
adopt and someone told me blind people can not adopt because of
blindness which makes no sense. What is the proceedure and who do they
need to speak? I know someone who would like to do that.
Hina.
